WINDOW-BASH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 8, 1911.

Application filed October 29, 1910. Serial No. 589,725

4 strong in construction and will possess dura- I bility and efficiency.

The novel features of my invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In theaccompanying drawings illustra-- tive of the preferred form of my invention,

Figure 1 is an elevation, partly broken away, of my improved window sash. Fig. 2 is an enlarged end elevation of one of the railsj Fig. 3 is a section on the dotted line ab of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a section on thedotted line cd of Fig. 1.

Similar reference characters denote similar parts.

1 denotes the'two stiles of the sash, both stiles being alike so that a description of one will answer for both. Each stile is provided with two longitudinal transversely disposed portions 2 which extend toward each other at the pane side of the stile and are respectively provided with longitudinal laterally extending parallel flanges 3.

In each stile is located a clamping member 4, preferably composed, as are the stiles, of sheet metal and preferably having the form of a rectangular tube having one side resting against the inner" sides of the por'-' tions 2. Said side of the clamping member is provided with two parallel longitudinal portions 5 located between the flanges 3 and having respectively return bend portions 6 which receive the flanges 3 and are respectively provided with longitudinal flanges 7 having corrugations 8. The top and bottom. rails 9 are, like the stiles 1, provided with transverse portions 2 having parallel flanges '3 whichare respectively located in return bend portions 6 of horizontal portions 5 of two horizontal clamping members 4 corresponding in structure to the clamping members 4 in the stiles l. The return bend portions 6 of the horizontal clamping members 4 are also provided with flanges 7 having corrugations 8.

In each stile 1 and rail 9 is mounted a pane supporting member 10 preferably of sheet metal, and having a longitudinal portion of U shape located between the parallel por tions 5 of the adjacent clamping member 4.

One arm of the U shaped portion of the member 10 is provided with a lateral flange 11 fitted in the adjacent member 4, as shown in Figs.- 3 and 4. The other arm of the member 10 is provided with a return bend portion 12 which forms a longitudinal groove 13. The return bend portion 12 serves as a support for the adjacent edge of the pane, which is denoted by 14, as shown in Fig. 4. Securing devices, such as rivets, 15 extend through holes provided in the member 10,

1 the portions 5 and 6 and the flanges 3.

16 denote four pane supporting devices such as moldings, preferably formed of sheet metal and having their ends in mitered relation to each other, as shown in Fig. 1. Two of these moldings are disposed vertically respectively adjacent 'to the stiles 1, and the other two are located parallel with and adjacent to the rails 9 respectively. The mold ings 16 serve as seats for one side of the pane 14 and are respectively provided with flanges 17 which are respectively located in the grooves 13. The moldings 16 are also provided with longitudinal flanges 18 having corrugations 19 for respectively engaging the corrugations 8 of the adjacent I flanges 7.

Upon the opposite side of the pane 14 are located four other moldings 20 bearing against and serving as securing members for retaining in place the pane 14. The moldings 20 are provided respectively with longitudinal flanges 18 having corrugations 19 for respectively engaging the corrugations 8 of the adjacent flanges 7. The flanges 7 are preferably sufliciently resilient to permit the flanges 18 of the moldings 16 and 20 being forced between them and the adjacent stiles and rails, and after being so forced to assume the position shown in Figs; 3 and 4, in which positions the corrugations 8 will engage the corrugations 19 of the flanges 18.

' The rails at their ends are provided with vertical flanges 18 having corrugations19 which engage the corrugations 8 of the flanges 7 in the same manner as these corru-.

gations are engaged by the corrugations ,19 of the moldings 16 and E20.

In assembling the parts the vertical clamping members 4: are slipped endwise into the stiles 1 with the flanges 3 disposed in engagement with the return bend portions 12. The members 10 are then slipped into position in the clamping members t. In like manner the members 4 and 10 are mounted in the rails 9. The rails are then slipped into position between the stiles 1 after which therivets 15 are secured in position thereby holdingthe parts assembled together. The moldings 16 are then forced into'position. The pane 14 is then seated against the moldings'lG after which the n1oldings20 are forced into'position against the pane 14:.

By reason of the flanges 17 of the moldings 16 being located in the grooves 13 of the members 10, the jointbetween the pane 14 and the member 10 will be sealed, there by preventing admission of dirt or moisture past the pane l4.

I do not limit my invention to the structure described and illustrated, as various groove.

modifications of my invention, within the scope of the appended claims, may be made without departing from its spirit.

Having thus described my invention,

what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a window sash, a stile or rail having at. one side two longitudinal. transversely disposed portions having laterally extending parallel flanges, a longitudinal clamp ing member having two laterally extending parallel portions disposed between said flanges and which are provided with return bend portions between which are respectively clamped said flanges, a pane supportingmember disposed'between said parallel portions and adapted'to support the adja- 45 cent edge of a pane and provided with a ;longitudinal groove, and a .pane'securing member Secured to said stile or rail and forming: a seat. to support one side of the paneand provided'with a fl'ange'extending transversely to the pane and located in said 2. In a window sash, a. stile or rail having at one side two longitudinal transverselydisposed portions having laterally extending parallel flanges, a longitudinal clamping member having two laterally extending par allel-- ortions disposed between said flanges andaving return bend portions between .which'sa i d flanges are respectively clamped,

a pane supporting member disposed between SitlCl parallel portions for supporting the adjacent edge of a pane and provided with a longitudinal groove, and two'pane se'curing members secured to said stile or rail and adapted to form seats for opposite sides of the pane respectively, one of said pane scouring members having. a flange extending transversely to the pane and disposed in said groove. 3. vIn a window sash, a stile or rail having two parallel flanges, a pane supporting member located between said flanges for supporting the edge of a pane and having a longitudinal groove, a longitudinal clamp. ing member having twoparallel portions between which said supporting member is lo-' cated the clamping member having its par allel portions provided with return bends between which are respectively clamped said flanges, said return bends being provided respectively with longitudinal corrugated flanges, and two pane securing members having corrugated flanges respectively disagainst the inner side thereof and provided with two parallel portions disposed between said flanges and provided respectively with return bend portions respectively clamping between them said flanges, said return bend portions having respect1vely longitudinal corrugated flanges disposed ad a cent to the stile or rail, a pane supporting member disposed between said parallel portions for supporting the edge of a pane and having a longitudinal groove, and two pane securing members serving as seats respectively for opposite sides of the pane and-respectively provided with longitudinal flanges disposed respectively between the-flanges of the clamping member and the stile or rail and having corrugations respectively engagingthe corrugationsof the clamping member flanges, one of said securing members having a longitudinal flange disposed transversely to the pane and disposed in said groove. I f I l p In testimony whereof'l have signed my name to this specification in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
